How the Landscape of Random Job Shop Scheduling Instances Depends on the Ratio of Jobs to Machines
We characterize the search landscape of random instances of the job shop scheduling problem (JSP). Specifically, we investigate how the expected values of (1) backbone size, (2) d...

How many servers are best in a dual-priority M/PH/k system?
We ask the question, "for minimizing mean response time (sojourn time), which is preferable: one fast server of speed 1, or k slow servers each of speed 1/k?" Our settin...
